Goodday pleade us ds promo still available?

thnks for the response, freezer (140 watts x 5 hr), 3 TVS (290 watts x 8 hrs), 6 energy bulbs (120 watts x 8 hrs), 4 fans (400watts x 8 hrs) , 2decoder (20watts x 8 hrs), dvd player (180watts x 4 hrs), . this is ideally what i use, i dont use all the same time. thnks ahead.

This site will help you understand the math behind the magic!

- Your energy estimate = 8060W

- With your 200Amp @ 48V = 9600W which ideally you cant take more than 50% unless you want to bury the batteries early. This leave you with 4800W

- You need to double your battery bank if you must maintain the current load otherwise you need to do load shedding to increase duration

- With increase in battery bank, you will also need to increase solar array to charge the batteries and enough to maintain day-light load

thanks again i am beginning to get a clear picture. you mentioned doubling battery bank, can i simply add the extra batteries to what i have presently connecting them together, also the panels.

very helpful, let me study it wella . o boy thnks ooo!

Washing your panel can actually do some magic

How do I contact you chief....

- How old is your current string of battery? If more than 6 months old, not really advisable to just add up; you will need to go for new set of batteries completely.

- In your first query, you mentioned your batteries getting fully charged by 11am, does your controller has setting to rebulk if voltage drop below a certain threshold.

@ whizcode send me a pm.
I can't believe people still go to market and by 290 watts plasma or LCD TVs and 120w energy saving bulbs. If I were u, I will change my TVs, (fans) and the bulbs to led. 80-100w should be OK No matter the size. I have seen 55" 80w full-hd TV. you don't need 120w bulbs on inverter, 15w led bulb should be ok. stop wasting resources. everybody is going green some people are going red. my experience with two blade industrial fan is not good therefore I will encourage it.
@ samnaija: one of your fan's almost exceeded all the load in my house, Please do something to the load

the tv,bulbs and fans are the total wattage combined. my single bulb is 20w. a single plasma tv is 110w.

batteries are not up to 6 months, my controller wellsee has these interface charge off 53v, load on 49v , load off 47.2v . thats the settings i can see. i hope it assists.

Good Job Richmond74. More adrenalin to your system.

If batteries less than 6 months old, you stand the chance of adding batteries of same spec to existing string.
Meanwhile does your controller has manual and can you possibly share it picture. Also, what is your battery specification as regard cycle voltage and float setting.

got it now. but even at that your load is still much

JUO:

Quite agree with JUO as regard the load being too much for the present setting. If Samnaija is buoyant enough to add necessary gears to accommodate his requirements then he can go for it.

I sincerely hope so o. I'm just glad the panels are on the flat roof as opposed to the main house roof. When I cleaned them recently, the CCs recorded a big spike in PV input immediately.

As for fire protection, the cooling fan is to ensure things don't get too hot to reach that level. So, apart from an extinguisher (which is useless if no-one witnesses the fire), there's nada.

Nice one pal.. We didn't get the make of your cc i.e (60a mppt/pwm e tracer) ? Are your panels mono or poly crystalline pv Thanks

The promo isn't available but the products are still available at great prices

Hmmm @kiekie1

The solar panels photographs he posted looks like 'poly'. Or do you think it could possibly be mono or amorphous?
I think he also mentioned that the cc is 60a mppt but even if he didn't i think you as a dealer should've known from the photograph of the cc.

My question was clear and wanted the end user"Ile naira" to brief me on the make of d controller knowing fully well its 60a tho. .. It pays to be humble so you learn more #cheers

DIY stuff with total support from BodeJohn. 30amps china Mppt CC for 960wats panel

960w panel (240 each)

3.5 KVA 24v mercury and 1.4KVA Sukam wit 4 batteries of 160Aah each

Great stuff Bode4real...
How's the production like?

@Barezzi,
D installation was done like 5months ago wit 1.4kva sukam, just for chargin in d afternoon and for all my electronics bulbs at nitte, I added d 3.5kva recently for my fridge and to pump water in d afternoon, I was able to ard 3.1kw on a bright day, wit max of 24amps

this is a complete waste. 24amps from 960w panels? anything less than 35amps from that panel is not acceptable. i use Chinese panel and is rated 130w/7.1amps but i get 6.5amps from it. i see a wrong installation but there is a room for correction, your panels are too close to the zink. i have one question for you, since your panels are static, by the time sun changes position what will happen?

pls I need an estimate (plan 1 separately & plan 1 & 2 combined ) for solar panel, inverter, battery & installation

Location:Ph

my load

Plan1:
1 LCD (180W)
4 ceiling fans( don't know it's rating)
8 energy saving bulb(20W each, total 160W)


Plan 2:
1 fridge could be added to the above(120W)



Note: In plan 1, all will not be ON at the same time & PHCN should be assumed to be non existent

Thanks

@JUO
A waste ? but I get my battery charged for d nite and drain it to 25v by mornin, remember my cc is rated max 30amps, I know there is room for improvement, and presently plannin to get mounting rails from Richmon74 to at least give like 50mm gap to d roof. Since my installatin in june, av do away wit my gen. Any suggestion for more harvest is welcom.

For the items listed, can you state how many hours daily you plan for each.

salam12:



For the items listed, can you state how many hours daily you plan for each.

Thanks, lets say minimum of 10hrs

nannymcphee:


Thanks, lets say minimum of 10hrs

Without Fridge = 5800W daily
With Fridge = 7000W daily

Considering inverter efficiency (90%)
Without Fridge = 6380W + 200W for inverter consumption = 6580W
With Fridge = 7700W + 200W inverter consumption = 7900W

Panels Estimate = with 250W panel - 6 pieces will handle your need

Battery Estimate
50% DOD

4 pieces of 200AH will be enough for both cases

You can go for 24V or 48V inverter for both cases

Without Fridge = 1.5KV inverter should handle your load

With Fridge = 2.5KV due to surge current while starting up


Other experts and merchants can have some inputs and possible price for the items.

Cheers

Thanks, looking forward to the price breakdown, I guess u summed up my total load X runtime to get my total daily load

@kiekie1, the CC is made by epsolar (http://www.epsolarpv.com/en/) and it is MPPT. My Panels are poly but the set to complete the system design will be mono (300 watts, SunEdisons). The mix will allow me to experiment with the mono vs poly debate especially when applied to a climate like ours rather than North America / Europe, etc. I'll post the findings.

Another company you may be interested in is mppsolar (http://www.mppsolar.com/v3/). My inverter is from them and they've been very helpful with technical advice on how to rectify what the plonker that I entrusted with its care, did to it.

How can I buy one?
Cant seem to find the new sexy ones on amazon or ebay...
